PERFECT 15 FOR THROW-INS, AS NOTTS CO GO TOP
Seven matches in, we have a clear leader at the end of Day 3 in the form of Brendan Keenan's Notts Co USA. 13 points from a possible 15 today for Brendan makes his total 25, and Notts climb from 6th to take top spot.
Best of the lot on Day 3 are Game of Throw-Ins who predicted all three scores exactly right. After picking up just 4 points from the first four matches, 15 points today for Alex Abbas sees him up 55 places to 10th. |
GERMANY 2 UKRAINE 0
Over 92% of Predictor Teams picked up points as Germany beat Ukraine, with the other 8% predicting a draw and no-one at all going for Ukraine. 2-0 was a popular score, with no less than 23 teams collecting the maximum 5 points. |
POLAND 1 NORTHERN IRELAND 0
Quite a popular one this, with 15 predicting 1-0. The two leaders before the game started both went for a draw though, and slip off the top. 3 points for Morag's Minnows (they went for 3-2) is enough to regain Morag equal top (she slipped to 3rd earlier in the day). Alongside the Minnows now are Notts Co USA who also earned 3 points (went for 2-1) following a perfect score earlier.
Amidst cries of 'cheat', 'fix' and 'I demand a re-count' my own Alice Wolf's Giant Silk Peach have predicted both today's scores spot-on. Historically I'm pretty poor at this predicting lark, but after a mediocre 7 points from the first four matches, I'm up from 36th to 7th and now top of the Columbus & Friends League. Fellow Columbus team Game Of Throw-Ins are the others to have got both today's scores right. |
TURKEY 0 CROATIA 1
10 got this one spot on, with 46 predicting the correct result. Among those were two of the equal leaders, Big Jessies and FC Notgotachance - and 2 points each are enough to keep them top with Morag's Minnows slipping up. The highest placed team to score the perfect 5 are Brendan Keenan's Notts Co USA, who climb to equal third alongside the Minnows. |
